Hillside villa with amazing views
A very relaxing holiday for everyone. Great swimming pool was lots of fun. The two houses worked very well for our family of ten. Plenty of bathroom space. The weekly market was brilliant. A few nice restaurants for a lovely night out. All in all wonderful.

Great family break in stunning, peaceful location
Had a fantastic time in hills outside Bologna. Stunning views and very peaceful location with wild grounds to explore. Large practical accomodation with everything you need, but spent most of the time outside. Up steep but quiet lane from vergato, 25min walk to town but kids (5-9yrs) had no problem up or down. Pool not heated but temperature fine for kids and adults at end of May. Had an amazing time.

An amazing gem in the hills of Emilio-Romagna!
My friends and I had an amazing stay at Casa Ruspiano. The house is well appointed and secluded...just what us city folk were seeking. Atop our own little mountain the Casa welcomes you with incredible views, a shimmering pool, and lots of outdoor areas to relax and enjoy. We explored the area from Bologna and Modena to the north to Pistoia to the south. Sandra was incredibly responsive and helped to connect us with locals to create a perfect experience. Chef Angela prepared us an incredible feast on our final evening and it is a moment we won’t soon forget. Come to reset and leave enriched! I hope to be back!

About the host

Hosted by Sandra

Host profile image
After holidaying in Italy for 10+ years, we purchased Casa Ruspiano in 2005. We completely restored the villa and barn during 2007 and more than doubled the available living space. Plus added all features that you would expect of a modern villa without loosing the classic Italian style. Of course to enjoy those long hot Italian summer's we added a large swimming pool too.

Why they chose this property

We loved the location - set in it's own private grounds with stunning views. Also located just 1.5 kms from major town - we can enjoy our stays but also access the daily essentials supermarkets, restaurants, train stations etc with ease.

What makes this property unique

Location, Location, Location. Nearest restaurant 10 mins walk, just 1.5 kms from a major town, 40 mins from the nearest international airport, 40 minutes from Bologna and 60 minutes from Florence - just perfect!
